The Drink In The Season Holiday Recipe Contest was a hit this year with multiple qualified contestants submitting their creations. The Mighty Leaf team was quite impressed by the variety, and ingenuity of many of the drinks that we saw amongst the finalists in particular.

To most bar goers now, the martini is generic for vodka served up in a cocktail glass, or maybe even some flavored vodka concoction like a chocolotini or Appletini. But that’s not how the martini got its start. In the late 19th century up until at least the 1960s, the martini was a gin drink. (more…)

Welcome to the official blog of Mighty Leaf Tea. Mighty Leaf was born for the sole purpose of delighting the senses and infusing life into an ancient indulgence. Our artisan philosophy of tea embodies the idea that the ancient ritual of tea has broader and deeper meaning that is more than ripe for modern discovery. Our vision of the tea experience is rooted in the art of meticulously handcrafting whole leaf teas and creating signature blends that infuse the senses while capturing the sweet essence of the drink.
